Our California State and Northern California data managers from the Obama for America (OFA) campaign will be attending a conference this coming weekend, 6-7 December 2008, in Chicago whose purpose is to discuss the future of our movement. I think the term "movement" is rather broad and probably means different things to different people but given this is coming from Chicago, I'm believing this event could have significant impact on the future of our MyBO social network.
The organizers have asked conference participants to attempt to gather feedback and suggestions from our states' OFA volunteers and staff to bring with them. They want to know what we think the future of the volunteer organization should look like, and they're particularly interested in what it already looks like (i.e. whether anyone has already begun organizing or planning projects in the past month using the existing structure, and with what results).
In order to help facilitate this data collection, I have started a survey to collect the opinions of our organizers in congressional districts 1 and 6. If you haven't taken the survey yet, please take 5 minutes to give us your thoughts (even if it's after Dec 7th).
About Me
- Chip Roberson
- I was born and reared in Appalachia by Republican parents. I earned a Bachelors in Economics & ComSci followed by a Masters in CompSci from William & Mary where I was, for a while, a Young Republican. After a successful career in the telecom industry and the sale of a company I had helped start, I left technology to explore other places and ideas. In March of 2008, after 25 years as an independent voter, I became a newly-minted Democrat examining my political perspective. I have a deep concern for the principles that underpin our government and society and I believe that now, as much as ever, we need to encourage people to be "free thinkers".
